This initiative was funded by grants from the American College of Cardiology and the Greater Flint Health Coalition, unrestricted research grants from Pfizer Inc. and AstraZeneca, and in cooperation with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Sixth Scope of Work Project in Michigan. The analyses upon which this publication is based were performed under Contract Number 500-99-MI02 entitled “Utilization and Quality Control Peer Review Organizations for the State of Michigan,” sponsored by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Department of Health and Human Services. The content of this publication does not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the Department of Health and Human Services, nor does mention of trade names, commercial products, or organizations imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. The authors assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the ideas presented. This article is the direct result of the Health Care Quality Improvement Program initiated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which has encouraged identification of quality improvement projects derived from analysis of patterns of care, and therefore required no special funding on the part of this contractor. Ideas and contributions to the authors concerning experience in engaging with issues presented are welcomed.
